Akorn, Inc. has voluntarily recalled 37,582 bottles of Ofloxacin Ophthalmic Solution, USP 0.3%, a prescription antibiotic eye drop used to treat bacterial eye infections in animals. The recall was initiated because routine testing discovered that a specific impurity (N-Oxide) exceeded approved limits after 23 months of storage. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date, but consumers should stop using the affected bottles immediately. If your pet has been treated with this medication and shows signs of irritation, contact your veterinarian.
The eye drops contain levels of an impurity that exceed the allowed specification, which could potentially reduce the effectiveness of the medication or cause unexpected irritation to the animal's eye.
